I want to display some points (longitude, latitude) on a map of Taiwan using plotly library. The problem is where can I find such a map of Taiwan and load it and is there some sample?

Hi I have created tutorials for problems like this, you can access it on: https://github.com/SayaliSonawane/Plotly_Offline_Python/tree/master/Satellite%20Map
You can use satellite map in outdoor style to create this type of plot:
import plotly
import pandas as pd
from plotly.graph_objs import Scattermapbox,Data,Layout
# Open mapbox account and pass your access token over here
# Mapbox account sign up and access token is free.
# Mapbox information: https://www.mapbox.com/help/how-access-tokens-work/#rotating-tokens
mapbox_access_token = 'Enter_your_access_token'
data = Data([Scattermapbox(
lat= dataframe_name['Latitude'],
lon= dataframe_name['Longitude'],
# text: provide column which will display hover information
text = [str(n) for n in dataframe_name['ADR_Line_2']],
mode='markers',
marker = dict(color = 'rgb(0, 128, 0)',size=10),
hoverinfo='skip'
) ])
layout = Layout(
title = "title_for_plot",
font=dict(family='Courier New, monospace', size=18, color='rgb(0,0,0)'),
autosize=False,
hovermode='closest',
showlegend=False,
width=1800,
height=1000,
mapbox=dict(
accesstoken=mapbox_access_token,
#width=1415,
bearing=0,
pitch=0,
style = 'outdoors'
),
)
plotly.offline.plot({"data":data, "layout":layout},filename = 'taiwan_map.html')
